HISTORY

The company Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide was founded in 1998 on the basis of two private enterprises – a manufacturing one in the Republic of Belarus, which was producing spotting scopes since 1991, and a trading optical one located in Texas, USA. The product line of the company included day optical devices (spotting scopes and binoculars).

In 1999, as the range of day optics grew, the company started to manufacture first night vision devices. Just two years later, in 2001, the first night vision riflescope – the NVRS – was launched.

In 2003 the development of digital devices – Ranger 5x42 and Ranger Pro 5x42 was initiated.

In 2005 company’s share on the international market of Gen. 1 NV devices reached 70%.

In 2006-2008 featured a significant expansion of the product range of optical devices, including digital, and building of a wide line of night vision devices and riflescopes that formed the basis of a new trademark – Pulsar.
